I finished 6 out of the 9 books listed for my #HauntedShelf #TBR. I got a good chunk of 2 others (Evil Harvest and Midnight Library). All in all. This was such a fun experience. Thank you for being our team leader: @CatsAndBooks

@Ruthiella I was hoping someone would ask. These were my purchases from the Bee is for Books bookstore in Beeville! It was a funny little bookstore. There were huge sections for romance and sci-fi. When I said just fiction please the owner looked at me like I‘d lost my mind. So I said, historical fiction please. Same response. But he said, if there is any it‘s in there pointing to two small shelves marked fiction. So, I know what they‘re ⬇️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Midnight Library is a mood read. I can see why the reviews are so mixed. I read this on the cusp of summer ending, and so, it was the right time for me. Autumn not just spooky season, it‘s also a time where “death” feels closer I feel. Themes of suicide are heavy in this story, but it‘s also inspiring in many ways.
pickThis was a nice cozy read for a rainy long weekend. The only way to understand life is to live it.
pickI enjoyed this one! Read by Carey Mulligan (love her immensely) it was a nice foray into the multiverse, chaos theory but mainly taking on that saying of ‘the grass is always greener on the other side‘. We have regrets in this life, mostly of what we failed over or what hasn‘t happened. And oftentimes those regrets weigh us down and don‘t let us enjoy what we already have and live for the small joyful experiences.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis is an interesting take on the theory of multiple universes and chaos theory. Nora loses her job. Her cat dies. The old man in the building no longer needs her to pick up his prescriptions. She thinks no one needs her in this life any longer. Caught between life and death, she is offered a chance to try on the infinite number of lives that could have been at every tiny decision she's ever made.
pickThose thoughts of what if I … would it really be beneficial or would you be in a worse situation… this book provides a look into these prospective situational processes … I enjoyed how the author portrayed the different aspects of those choices… great read

As an indecisive person, this book gave me so much peace!

pickI loved this book. Vastly different than the hit Netflix series; similar concept to Paulo Coelho‘s ‘Veronica Decides to Die‘. Philosophy, fantasy, drama—this book makes you think about reincarnation, parallel and multiverses. Oscar Wilde once said that to live is the rarest thing in the world, most peoplx exist—that is all. Nora‘s story is everyone‘s story. Are we existing, or are we living? What do we truly desire? Is that desire enough⬇️
Every life contains many millions of decisions. Some big, some small. But every time one decision is taken over another, the outcomes differ. An irreversible variation occurs, which in turn leads to further variations. These books are all portals to all the lives you could be living. You have as many lives as you have possibilities. There are lives where you make different choices. And those choices lead to different outcomes. If you had⬇️
Between life and death there is a library. And within that library, the shelves go on for ever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be different if you had made other choices…Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?
Does anyone use libib.com (also an app) to catalog their personal books? My sweetie got me a scanner for my birthday a few months ago and I‘ve nearly got everything scanned in. It is great because I have a record of everything I have so I‘m less likely to buy a second copy. And it is like playing grown up librarian!
pickAbsolutely beautiful.
"It's A Wonderful Life" meets "The Butterfly Effect". A true example of the grass not always being greener and about how remarkable life really can be.
pickMatt Haig masterfully explores the intricate tapestry of life's what-ifs through Nora Seed's journey across lifetimes of choices not made. This book is a luminous guide through the shadows of doubt, illuminating the value of every path we take. A compelling read that marries psychology with the magic of possibilities. Captivated by Haig's narrative, I found solace and reflection in Nora's story.
pickMy friend picked The Midnight Library for our book club. I was very familiar with the book but skeptical about the concept, thinking it would be a tearjerker and make me feel like a trainwreck. Instead, I found it to be hopeful and reflective. I ended up binging it in a day and am glad my friend made me give it a try. A little bit cheesy towards the end but a solid 4 🌟‘s.
pickI was kind of nervous to start this book. I‘ve been in a reading slump and just wanted something easy. The first “chapter” kind of hits you and makes you realize this isn‘t a normal book. It makes you think and realize the what could have beens but not in a sad way! In a way that makes you want to live!
I‘ve gotten out of the habit of taking pictures of what I‘m reading and sharing them here. 🥲 So here‘s a January report with a repost of my #BookSpin list!
Read: Tagged & Rated Below
Note: Read my BookSpin, Double BookSpin, and #FoodandLit choice this month!
pickIt‘s been ages since I‘ve posted anything, but it‘s been hard to find the time to read, let alone post. BUT Christmas break came along and so did time!! Coming to the actual book, I absolutely loved it, I adored it, I thought it was brilliant.
We read Albom‘s “The Time Keeper” for my English class and it was fantastic. Looking for more books like that, I came across this one and I was not disappointed. I won‘t say too much, but this gets 5⭐️!
“Want,” she told her, in a measured tone, “is an interesting word. It means lack. Sometimes if we fill that lack with something else the original want disappears entirely.”
pickWell, what a lovely little surprise. I went into this a bit resistant. Felt it might be a bit twee. But it was actually sweet and lovely, a perfect read for the end of one year and the start of the next 💙
A person was like a city. You couldn‘t let a few less desirable parts put you off the whole. There may be bits you don‘t like, a few dodgy side streets and suburbs, but the good stuff makes it worthwhile.
1. The tagged book
2. The Most Likely Club. Ugh, literally the worst book I‘ve read in so long
3. Nothing yet. I‘ve got a cold so I‘ll see how I‘m feeling. Might just kick it at home just me and my kitty and I‘m perfectly fine with that
4. No but I did end up at the mall for an hour or two
5. I guess kinda brown because it‘d been raining. I always want a white one and never get it 😂

pickThe overall premise of the story dwells on Nora's mundane life and suicidal thoughts, how she finally overcame it and wanting to live her life in the end. It sure is enlightening looking from Nora's point of view, as I would never have thought of dying. It was also a well written book, I liked the clarity and easy to understand prose. This is my last pick of the year for #bookspin 🙏🏻 I‘ve rated it 3/5.
@TheAromaofBooks
pickTwo books that deal with trying to fix the “mistakes” of the past, each unique in their own way.
Life after Life is a subtle story about what you would change if you could be re-born.
Midnight Library is the book I recommend to everyone and reminds you how precious this life can be. No regrets on this one.
If I was an English teacher, I would ask students to do a study on these two books.
Starting a bestseller from a couple of years ago.
Loved this novel. Matt Haig should be Therapist For Our Broken World.
“ A person was like a city. You couldn‘t let a few less desirable parts put you off the whole. There me parts you don‘t like, a few dodgy side streets and suburbs, but the good stuff makes it worth the while.”
pickAn inspiration! Somewhat in the style of It‘s a Wonderful Life. Nora Seed has had a horrible day in a rough life and decides to die. She‘s given the opportunity to try on different lives and discovers different aspects of herself growing. You‘ll have to read to see what her final choice will be.
It's been a minute Litsy... 😭
Life has been crazy and I've been in a horrible reading slump for the past few months.
Excited to get back into some good books!
Looking forward to #Scarathlon
